VAN NUYS, CA – A 35-year-old Van Nuys man will spend 81 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting two women.
On April 23, 2019, Enefiok Joseph Edem Jr. was found guilty of one count each of kidnapping to commit a sexual assault, sexual battery by restraint, forcible rape, assault with intent to commit a sexual crime and attempted forcible rape.
Prosecutors said that on April 16, 2017, Edem approached the victim at the bus stop. He asked her if she needed a ride and she accepted. She got into his vehicle and drove to another location. He attempted to rape the woman but she was able to escape.
A woman in June 2015 was not as fortunate and was sexually assaulted. During both incidents, Edem was wearing GPS monitoring.
